the eternal splendour wearing;

our Saviour Jesus Christ,
joyful in thine appearing.

we see the evening light,
our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
thee, his incarnate Son,
and Holy Spirit adoring.

all praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, lifegiver;
thee therefore, O most high,
the world doth glorify
and shall exalt for ever. Topics: Church Year Trinity; Evening; Light; Music and Song; Praise; Rest Scripture: Numbers 6:25 Languages: English Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS

the brightness of a holy death-bed blending
with dawning glories of the eternal day.

from harm and danger keep thy children free,
